webfact Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Deputy PM Prawit proceeds with forest restoration project in Chiang Mai CHIANG MAI (NNT) - The Deputy Prime Minister, Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, together with people from various sectors, have planted ironwood trees to help restore fire-ravaged forests in the northern province of Chiang Mai. At Doi Suthep forest area in Chiang Mai’s Mae Rim district, Gen. Prawit today launched a project to encourage Thai people to contribute to forest restoration by planting trees and increasing green spaces. More than 300 people as well as representatives of government agencies and private firms participated in the event by planting ironwood trees in all 25 districts of Chiang Mai at the same time. Seedlings were distributed to heads of government agencies to help restore forest areas. The Deputy Prime Minister said the tree growing activity aims to encourage everyone to help conserve forest resources and support all sectors in jointly restoring forest areas damaged by wildfires earlier this year.

scorecard Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Sure re-planting / re-generating forests is important and valuabele, But I wonder why this gets a big ceremony when there's still much serious work needed to stop fires and therefore prevent serious health risks to kids and the elderly and all citizens? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no other trees in Thai forests? What is the Thai translation for "bio diversity". Its a step forward from condos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Having a guy like Prawit as the representative for this project, is akin to using Justin Bieber to promote the new JPL facility. It would be like asking Trump to head a science forum, or inviting Kim or Putin to head a forum on human rights, or press freedom. What is truly astonishing is that he is still around, and considered useful on any level. Safe to say, generals rarely ever get demoted here.

Sydebolle Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Prawatch is certainly getting his priorities right - when the country is in turmoil he goes planting trees. Or, does he eventually evaluate, where in protected zones one could build the next dozens of villas for overworked judges or army executives? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
